Identify Your Core Values

Core values are the moral codes and principles that are dear to your heart. Get to know what morals play a role in conflict resolution, communication, decision-making and living your daily life.

Discern your Dreams

Your dreams and life purpose create the pathway for your future since they help you create the life of happiness and one you can pride yourself in living.  Take your dreams seriously and make your dreams part of your daily goals.

Discover Your Talents

You need to know what natural talents you were born with. One way you can do this is by figuring out what you like or what people close to you know you for.

Dwell on Your Uniqueness

Determine Your Passions

You need to think about what you love doing to know yourself. Being aware of the life passions that make you feel alive helps you understand how you align with your essence.

Establish Your Interests

Take the time to establish your likes and dislikes on your own without asking for opinions from other people.

Determine What You are Grateful For

It is essential to figure what you are thankful for. If you find it difficult to point out the people or things you are grateful for, you know there is the need for action. You can start to develop an attitude of gratitude.
